Gardening - Harvesting

[synesthetic]

You can still crossbreed with harvestable plants.
But you can't have permanently-harvestable plants. Just as regular plants require tending before going purple/gassy and then dying, shiny harvestable plants are still degrading in the same way even if you can't see it. But unlike regular plants, you can't tend harvestable ones. So they'll inevitably die.

The Plan

First Krakka's have been harvested:


Sadly I got 3 mandrakes vs 1 sylkis bud.
I'm not going to try and push a second set of Krakka's this time.
I had spare sylkis bud seeds in the fc chest, so as long as the almonds give me 1 more sylkis I am good to go.
(The Krakka's listed at the bottom are from a different garden)

Next up: planting broombush in the middle

Good lord you guys weren't kidding, this stupid onion is taking forever.

[Erendis]

Dzemael tomato + Krakka gave me 2 sylkis bud seeds and 2 midland cabbage seeds.



No seeds were obtained from Krakka planted with Shroud 2 soil

I got myself a Mandragora Q. seed (mandrake + nymeia) and I don't really seem to find any interesting cross to test her on.
Any ideas ?
Is there a theory involving minions ?
Watching the few crosses involving minions, can we suppose that when crossed with Krakka they might give another minions ?

I have verified that the broombush growing from scratch works in 2.3 exactly like before. The garden is a deluxe garden (we only have one) and I planted from an empty garden. The sequence I used was:

- Linseed (Flax) plus Mandrake yields Azeyma Rose seeds
- Azeyma Rose plus Chamomile yields Halone Gerbera seeds
- Halone Gerbera plus Almonds yields Broombush seeds
- Broombush plus Almonds yields Broombush seeds

I gathered up the seeds to start at flax and mandrake - saved me a growing cycle.

I used grade 3 thanalan soil all of the time, planted clockwise - received seven seeds from the first three crops. For Halone Gerbera plus Almonds - I started with almonds in a cheap soil - then Halone Gerbera in grade 3 thanalan. Pulled up the first almond and replanted it as an almond in grade 3 thanalan soil. I still got 7 seeds... BUT the first almond yielded a broombush seed. The third almond did not have a seed - which means that the 90% chance hit that last 10% and tada - no seed there. Replanting the first almond worked out very nicely I like this replanting as it got me another seed that I wouldn't have got otherwise.

From the last planting - I've got four broombush seeds from the almonds and broombush so far - harvested from almonds (waiting on the broombush) and replanted almonds. I'm doing two cycles of broombush/almonds to get a lot of seeds and broombush's.

I wanted to verify the whole sequence - as I did not have broombush seeds before 2.3 - figured it would be good to report in that the whole sequence seems to work nicely just as it did from before patch 2.3.


So far I have glazenuts (from before patch 2.3) and just getting broombush now... Jute will be next and then minions... One garden plot... It takes me a while to grow lots of stuff...

i really like to figure out in a 4+4 intercross plot, which seeds are rare, and fertilize the hell out of the common ones so multiple yields can be done with 1 set of 4 rare seeds.

For example:
Plant cycle 1 (new plot):
4 Apricots in corners, 4 glazenuts on sides
Fertilize frequently, ONLY apricots

Plant cycle 2:
Harvest apricots and glazenut seeds
Plant 4 lemons, glazenuts from cycle 1 still growing
Fertilize frequently, ONLY honey lemons

Plant cycle 1, revised for loop:
Harvest lemons and apricot seeds
Plant 4 Apricots
Harvest glazenuts and glazenut seeds
Plant 4 Glazenuts
Fertilize frequently, ONLY apricots

This almost always results in no seed deficits can keep glazenuts going without wasting a 2nd plot on apricot upkeep ^^

[synesthetic]

Plant cycle 2:
Harvest apricots and glazenut seeds
Plant 4 honey lemons, glazenuts from cycle 1 still growing
Fertilize frequently, ONLY honey lemons

Glazenuts + Honey Lemons = Royal Kukuru
Mirror Apples and Rolanberries also make Kukuru.
Need to use a smaller seed. I know Sun Lemons, Faerie Apples, and Pixie Plums work.

Mandragora Queen + Almonds = Jute



Eggplant Knight + Mandragora Queen = Broombush



Got 1/4 Thav Onion seeds again from a Sylkis + Jute set. (I've already submitted this to the spreadsheet).

[LynnScifo]

Got some results involving new seeds I thought I might share.

Nothing new, though...
